Training authorities riddled with corruption

26 Jan 2012

Labour analysts say the effectiveness of SETAs on South Africa's training and economic growth has been minimal. Jan van Schalkwyk, corporate executive in the Auditor-General's office warns that the latest report reflects very badly on the management of the SETAs, adding that it's findings are probably "just the tip of the iceberg," Business Day reports.
